I never did share which patterns I selected from our MPB Day pattern swap. That's them up top.
I'm finally recovered from the weekend's festivities, so here's my Sunday VLOG, two days late but double the fun! I didn't have a lot of live footage from MPB Day, but you will get to see what I was able to record. You are there!

So get into your comfy pajamas, grab your favorite pint of Ben & Jerry's, and join me in an eight-minute melange of song, sewing, and shlepping around the NYC Garment District.

As always, if you'd like to watch this full-size on YouTube or if you're viewing on a portable device, just click here.

regarding dreading trips to the Post Office, I used to dread the long lines and surly help but some post offices by me now have machines in the lobby that let you weigh packages and buy the postage label/insurance by credit/debit. You can be done in under 5 minutes. If you have to mail any packages I recommend going the automated route.

You found the Halston shirtdress pattern! Hope it is in a size that Cathy can wear. This made a lovely bridesmaid dress for a client (in apple green satin, in 1980); and worked beautifully in linen and in a lightweight denim, too.

I'm a native New Yorker and sewing fanatic! I started sewing in 2009 and today make all my own clothes using vintage sewing machines and vintage patterns, in addition to sewing for private clients. Welcome to the warm and whimsical world of Male Pattern Boldness, where the conversation is sewing, style, fashion, fabric, and more!
